Landsberg (parliamentary group)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Landsberg was the name of a since September 1848 existing political group in the National Assembly in Frankfurt . As with most parliamentary groups in the National Assembly, the name refers to the usual place of assembly of members of the parliamentary group in Frankfurt am Main .

The parliamentary group was a split from the national liberal casino parliamentary group and the left-wing liberal parliamentary group Württemberger Hof . The “Württemberger Hof” and its spin-off “Augsburger Hof” housed the left-wing liberals mainly from medium-sized and small states. In the Landsberg faction, the right-wing liberals, especially from the southwest, from the Rhenish bourgeoisie and from the north German professors, were assembled. It included politicians such as Johann Friedrich Christoph Bauer , Carl Otto Dammers , Wilhelm Jordan , Heinrich von Quintus-Icilius and Maximilian Heinrich Rüder .

The group members supported a strong central power with a strong position in parliament and therefore wanted to curtail the rights of the individual states more than other groups. They voted for a constitutional monarchy .
